👋 Hey there, fellow Notler!

🎉 Weekly Highlights from Our Town!

This past week was bustling with activity in our town! Despite the drizzly weather today, we enjoyed some sunny sneak peeks that remind us of the beautiful days just around the corner. It was delightful to see many of you hitting the links at the golf club again. The week kicked off spectacularly with the awe-inspiring sight of a total solar eclipse on Monday, truly a magnificent start!

In this newsletter:

• A brief overview of the solar eclipse experience

• Our recommendation for the best local pizza to try this weekend

• Spotlight on a local business owner (chances are, you’ve driven by his business more than once this week!)

• Answer a fun trivia question to win a $100 gift card to the Harp 👀

🌗 Solar Eclipse Recap

The total solar eclipse in Niagara-on-the-Lake wasn't just an astronomical event but a reminder of our community's bond. Witnessed from Vintage Hotels, local wineries, or backyards, it united us in awe and appreciation. This event underscored NOTL's vibrant community spirit. Let's celebrate more moments like this together!

Share your eclipse experiences with us! Whether you joined local events, captured cool photos, discovered new favourite spots, or have stories to tell, hit 'reply' and share your adventures. We're excited to hear from you!

🍕 Best Local Pizza In NOTL

Who doesn't love pizza? It's something that everyone enjoys, so we asked ourselves, where can NOTL residents try THE BEST local slice?

After trying many different places, we've come to our own conclusion. Patina Pizza, which operates inside Oast on Stone Road, has the best we've had.

The crust at Patina Pizza is just right: light and fluffy, but with the crunchy sound we all love when biting into a slice of pizza. Once you see the oven at Oast and the quality ingredients they put on their pizzas, you'll see why it tastes so amazing.

Choosing the best was hard because there are many great pizza places in town. But Patina Pizza has become our top pick, especially with the Oast patio now open. How could you blame us?
